Technical Recruiter - Early Talent

About The Company America is under sustained cyber attack. Our adversaries infiltrate our networks, steal our IP, and degrade the digital infrastructure that modern life runs on. They’ve learned—correctly—that those attacks rarely produce consequences. Twenty was founded to change that, by making our adversaries think twice before they attack us. Our vision is American and allied primacy in cyberspace—a future where they cannot contest us, deterrence is assured, and the free world remains secure. Founded in 2024, Twenty Technologies ( industrializes offensive cyber operations for the U.S. and its allies. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, Twenty has raised $138M from Accel, Caffeinated Capital, Friends & Family Capital, Point72 Ventures, General Catalyst, and In-Q-Tel. Role Summary Twenty is hiring a Technical Recruiter to build, run and own our early career recruiting engine —campus strategy, relationships, events, and a repeatable process that converts top students and new grads into hires. You’ll also run full life cycle recruiting for SWE roles with a sourcing-first mindset and a high bar for signal, speed, and candidate experience. You’ll bring structure where it doesn’t exist yet: clear funnels, measurable targets, and programs that improve every cycle. You’ll partner closely with engineering leaders to define needs, build pipelines, and close candidates with clarity and momentum. Who You Are You have a sourcing-first mindset: you don’t wait for inbound, and you’re great at hunting technical talent and turning cold outreach into real pipelines. You use AI and lightweight automation to scale yourself and reduce manual handoffs. You communicate crisply and move with urgency, candidates and stakeholders always know what’s next. You have strong judgment on technical signal and can calibrate with engineers quickly. You build from scratch and thrive in startup ambiguity, turning loose inputs into simple playbooks, templates, and repeatable motions. You are process driven and stay organized under pressure across multiple reqs, events, and stakeholders. What You’ll Do Own full-cycle recruiting for Software Engineering roles across levels, from intake through close. Own early career recruiting end-to-end: school strategy, season planning, event cadence, and conversion goals. Build relationships with target colleges and student orgs to create durable pipelines. Plan and run events (info sessions, career fairs, tech talks), including follow-up and conversion tracking. Source across outbound, referrals, networks, communities, and targeted lists for priority roles. Partner with engineering leaders to define roles, hiring strategy, scorecards, and interview processes that select for real signal. Keep pipelines moving: stage hygiene, fast feedback loops, clear debriefs, and no stalled decisions. Track funnel health (response rates, pass-through, time-to-fill, event ROI) and iterate. Improve recruiting assets: outreach, candidate prep, and closing materials. Apply AI-mindset and tools to augment sourcing and processes with strong judgment. Must Have You have 3+ years of recruiting experience, including technical recruiting. You’ve owned sourcing-heavy pipelines and can consistently generate qualified candidates via outbound. You’ve built or run early career and/or campus recruiting motions (schools, events, student pipelines). You’ve run full-cycle recruiting: intake through offer and close. You communicate clearly and can manage stakeholders with urgency. You’re metrics-driven and use funnel data to improve outcomes. You execute with precision: clean ATS hygiene, reliable follow-ups, tight process SLAs. You are comfortable working in-office in Arlington, VA. Nice To Have Experience recruiting for high-caliber engineering teams in competitive markets. Strong campus network and career center / student org partnerships.
